Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a consultation and/or assessment?

Eligibility Determination:

  • Assessments help to determine whether an individual is eligible for a specific visa category, citizenship application or review rights to appeal an immigration matter such as a refusal or visa cancellation.

Legal Compliance:

  • Immigration laws and regulations are complex and can change frequently. An assessment ensures that the applicant is aware of and complies with the current immigration laws and policies. This helps to avoid legal issues and increases the chances of a successful application.

Documenatation Guidance:

  • Immigration assessments often provide guidance on the required documentation for the application process. This is crucial because incomplete or inaccurate documentation can lead to delays or refusals. Properly prepared documentation is essential to support the applicant’s case.

Risk Mitigation:

  • Assessments help individuals understand the potential challenges or obstacles they may face during the immigration process. This includes factors such as criminal history, health issues, or other eligibility concerns. Identifying potential issues in advance allows applicants to address them proactively.

Time & Cost Savings:

  • Going through an immigration assessment can save time and money in the long run. It helps applicants avoid pursuing the wrong immigration option or submitting incomplete applications, which could result in refusals, appeals, or the need to leave Australia and/or reapply.

Understanding Options:

  • Immigration assessments provide individuals with a clear understanding of the various immigration options available to them. This allows applicants to make informed decisions about the most suitable pathway based on their goals, qualifications, and circumstances.

Professional Advice:

  • Many individuals seek the assistance of registered migration agents or immigration lawyers for assessments. Professionals can provide valuable advice based on our knowledge and experience, ensuring that applicants have accurate information and are well-prepared for the immigration process.

In summary, immigration assessments play a crucial role in guiding individuals through the complex process of immigrating to a new country. They help applicants understand their eligibility, comply with legal requirements, gather the necessary documentation, and make informed decisions about the best immigration pathway for their specific situation.

Why use a Registered Migration Agent?

We believe in getting things right the first time and have seen the problems that can occur when applicants try to do their application on their own or seek help from unregistered individuals.

As registered migration agents (RMAs), we are specially trained in migration and citizenship law and practice and we must maintain ongoing training and requirements in order to re-register every 12 months.

By engaging experienced and reputable RMAs to manage your application you are ensuring your application will be prepared to the highest standards required, reduces potential and hidden risks and helps to avoid any unnecessary losses. It also makes for a very stressfree process for our clients.

What are the visa options available?

There are approximately 90+ different types of permanent and temporary visas in Australia. It is important that we assess each individual case before deciding which visa may be suitable.

As of 1 July 2023, most NZ citizens will not require a permanent visa of any kind in order to apply for Australian citizenship (subject to meeting eligibility criteria). We do however, recommend getting advice first.
